Language and PDF generation
Hi all,
In a form I set the language ( that is different to the locale of the user)
of a document,
When generating a PDF I want to use that set language to display labels in
accordance with the setting and not the default locale.
But I am at a loss how to achieve this.
Do you know how to get the right label texts? And can you point me in the
right directions?
Regards,
Pierre

Yes, that's also possible, you just have to put the language parameter to
screenContext.
The way I explained would work for all pdf, w/o need to modify groovy files.

Shouldn't I be able to set the labels in a groovy file with:
uiLabelMap = UtilProperties.getResourceBundleMap("AccountingUiLabels",
locale);
Whereby I swap the locale with data from the language parameter?

Pierre,
you need to pass the user selected locale to the printing service as an
additional parameter.
And then if this printing service uses internally sendPrintFromScreen
service, you have to put the additional locale to screenContext parameter of
sendPrintFromScreen.
The last change you will need is to modify sendPrintFromScreen, so it is not
overriding the locale in screenContext with the user current locale.
